Snow Bay, who usually goes well here, wouldn't need soft ground and may not take part but Dubai Dynamo won on good-to-soft over the C&D in May and his last two runs, including at Haydock on Saturday, have been in very heavy ground so should be ignored. James Sullivan, who rode him to victory here, is on board the stable's AL MUHEER, who also ran in that same Haydock race at the weekend and did brilliantly to be beaten a head by Atlantic Sport. Providing he's none the worse for those exertions, he can take this. Honeymead has been going well and, though looking a few pounds high, Richard Fahey has booked Shane B Kelly with his 5lb claim which looks a good move. Sam Sharp didn't run well at Sandown last time but that was a better race than this and his previous form puts him in the picture but it's hard to imagine Miami Gator making all here as he did at Hamilton last month. The three-year-old Satanic Beat is another front-runner but ran very well at Ayr after making all at Pontefract and will be difficult to peg back.
